Pre-Order TTCombat’s Dive Back Into Dropzone Commander
March 10, 2020 by brennon
The folks at TTCombat are focusing on re-releasing a bunch of goodies for the world of Dropzone Commander. You can now pre-order a new Rulebook and a Two-Player Starter Set to get you going in the game ahead of a release on March 13th.
This small-format rulebook comes in at sixty-four pages and contains the 2.1 version of the Dropzone rules by David J Lewis and Lewis Clarke. It will contain all of the rules you need to build your forces, deploy them and getting battling in hopes of reconquest. A few small tweaks here and there have been done to make the game faster and more enjoyable to play.
Inside the book, you're going to find the rules for Dropzone Commander, Behemoths, special rules, four different scenarios to play, tactics on army composition, a quick reference section and lots of background on the Dropzone universe so you can choose just the right army!
Two-Player Starter Set
And, if you really want to just get stuck in then you can pick up the new book and two armies to play with right away.
Here you get the rulebook that we've talked about above plus an army for the UCM and the Scourge. The majority of the force is made up of plastic miniatures but you'll also find resin commander figures who can lead the way.
Plus, you can even get your hands on a bunch of gaming aids which are all important for when you're getting stuck into the midst of combat.
If you didn't play Dropzone Commander before, this is a pretty good entry point for the game by TTCombat...

Interested to see the relaunch.
Nice.
We’ve been waiting awhile for this but it’s a nice looking tidy up of the V2 rules and should put the game in a strong place.
For a minute I thought it said ‘Dropfleet commander’ 😀
I hope that game gets a reboot/re-release too now that TTCombat own the franchise.
I’ll have to pick this up. And find a tournament to take part in to make sure I learn the rules!
I really hope Dropzone can bounce back with this. Ordered the new book, looking forward to get my armies on the table again.
£10 for the new book. Can’t complain at that.
Ordered the two-player starter set. Just barely got into the game right before the acquisition. My son and I are looking forward to this.
I’m waiting for @commodorerob to comment !
Ok took my eye off the ball ?
I presume at 64 pages the new rulebook has shed a lot of the “fluff” that came with the original rulebook (shame if it has). The Fluff is always good for engaging new players to a game, whereas the veterans would just prefer the cheaper, shorter book. Perhaps they should do another booklet if they have to bung into any starter sets to help the game grow
I’m happy to see a new starter set. Exactly what the game needs, hopefully I’ll see it played more and more in the local area.
Really have to start thinking about getting my head around V2
